And one could add: what's the limit? If King (or any other victim of Bino's antics) is hurt, is Fido supposed to understand he must set some things straight with Bino?because, personal fears or not, brotherly ties or not, being poorly observant or not, his inactions have consequences, and it's wonder that of all dogs he denies that

I don't know if you use daylight savings time in Colombia, but here where I live (rather close to Rick from an international viewpoint) it updates at midnight. It's 11:10 when I'm posting this, so if your time stamp doesn't match up that's probably daylight savings.

Ohhhhhhohohohohoho, NO!! -_- A year's end with Fox and King at odds would DEFINITELY send me over the edge! Rick has NEVER ended a year on a bad note, I'm STILL, if only just, trusting him not to do so now!

Now I'm wondering what Sasha is doing? I doubt she went back home or is still upstairs.

No daylight savings time in Colombia, it's a good thing, now I don't have to change all the clocks in the house.

I don't get it.

Let's start at the very beginning.

Rick uses Ponbon (the little, fluffy, big eared thing) when he comments on Housepets. When he comments mostly anywhere else, he uses an anthropomorphic Furret

Since Easter 2009, when Fido first appeared in the "new style", people have been pointing out how "buff" or "muscular" he looks. Every time. No matter how shortly ago his last appearance was.

Obviously, over the course of two years, it got annoying, and Rick and the mods repeatedly pointed it out

Last Monday, when the comment inevitably appeared, Rick said, "I am going to e-strangle the next person who comments on the musculature of the characters."

When Fido reappeared yesterday, Rick posted a comment of his own that said, "Boy, Fido sure does look muscular, even moreso than usual". This naturally prompted the question of how he would e-strangle himself

However, people commented about it anyway

I feel like that was pointing at my particular comment...D:

Actually, at least two other people commented on it, but yours was the only one that wasn't deleted, so it was the one I chose to reference

Of course, Rick could pull a fast one on us and do a 'oops, i double arced' again. Because, unless there's 3 rows of panels per day, I doubt this story will be finished in two updates. I mean, to me, it doesn't feel like a conclusion is near.

I know i can't have everyone share the same type of view i have, but for the celestial beings? I put them on the same level as the ferrets. They are the driving forces of power in the comic world. In a sense? Anything that the ferrets/Celestial beings do is considered ok in their book because they have the money/magic to do it, similar to the pet's parents. I have to admit though that when you dip into their territory too much it becomes a problem, but i haven't really seen a problem that was extreme enough to say it'll ruin the comic.

It just doesn't feel like the kind of "so over-the-top it's funny" sort of annihilation that you see in, say, Back to the Future.

I tend to look at it from the Sabrina (the witch, not the Housepets! cat >.<) sie of it. Although it's been a logn time since i read them, i take the celestial beings and Tarot/Sabrina's case to be just like how Helga and Elga had powerful magic and could make people disappear/reappear without a memory.

My dream:

Sasha picks up watchSasha givest it to KingSasha slaps BinoSashs gives a piece of her mind to Fido (her hero failed her!)Sasha accompanies King home (much to his embarrassment)

I don't think this comic is one to kill off characters. That would be a bit outside the tone. It's not unfathomable, but it'd just be weird.

Also, I can't believe everyone's reading so much into these throwaway lines. Sure, erasing somebody from existence is a scary prospect, but you weren't meant to dwell on that, because, firstly I think it was written as a joke, and second nothing comes of it. Also, I don't think anybody in this comic is acting irredeemably evil or even bad. Bino's rather obsessive and overly dramatic, yes, but he's always been that way. Sabrina has a rather important agenda, and Fido just thinks it's stupid because he doesn't know the entire situation.And it's not as though King hasn't done some questionable things- generally, manipulating someones possessions out of them through loved ones is slightly rude. Doesn't make him evil, though, it just means that he wants what he wants and is working to get it, just like everyone else.

In short: Housepets is not where I go to see moral black and white, it's a place to read about dynamic characters and catch up with their wacky-snacky antics.

On another note, I'd like to say that I think Boris is the cyborg after having escaped into the physical realm, and he's been around for centuries which is why his scar has moved to his shoulder and his color changed. Also he's radioactive.

I wouldn't like any characters dying honestly, but i would be cool with characters either leaving for good or... just something other than dying. >.> I don't know why people think King turning into Joel is a cruel fate though. Maybe if King and Joel were together as dog/parent? *shrug*

But while we're on the ball here:Peanut and Tarot marry.

They team up to defeat Bino and Pete, with Grape and Max as back-up support.

I want him turned back into a human eventually (though I could see why it might not happen) Just not right now or anytime in the near future I think its to early.

Edit: Though I kind of have a feeling that Rick is actually keeping King around longer then he wanted to because people like him.

Re: Arc 42: Not All Dogs

Yes, it's cruel to just turn King into Joel out of the nowhere. For a simple reason: he was turned against his will into a dog. Well, he was going to be judged and then sent to jail for some time. But now he's a fugitive as Fox stated here: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/12/1 ... good-will/Meaning that Joel/King would also respond for running away from the law and he couldn't even justify himself because nobody would believe that a magical eagle/lion cosmic being turned him into a dog for all that time. besides, I really doubt Ricky would just to something like:Great Kitsune: "There, Joel, everybody memory are wiped from your disappearance"I said in another threads that I also don't mind Joel/King becoming human again as long as he stays in the story and, if possible, as sasha's new dad.
